The Apple's iPad tablet device is believed to be tightly locked down yet it is still affected by many iPad Security issues. This concern would mean that iPad definitely needs much better security and manageability features to be more protected.
Hackers target iPad users by the means of sending bogus messages. These messages involve updates and misleading statements that promote illegitimate download to their computers. Users will then realize that they have downloaded malicious codes on their computer devices. These codes could be in form of a virus or worm.
The concept of hacking is just the same on iPad since it is also a computer device. Hackers will send a message to an iPad user about a recent update from iTunes that has been released for the iPad. Upon opening the message, the user will be lead to a fake iTunes download site.
There is a page in the site that resembles the original iTunes. The user will be asked to approve the download file. Sorry to say that the message is a Trojan horse -a horrible cyber virus.
The virus will insert a code into your Windows to open a way for hackers. That way could serve as the entrance of more malware to your iPad, snatching the activation keys of your software programs.
Trojan horse is also a kind of virus that steals passwords for instant messaging and email accounts.
Unfortunately, your accounts will be hacked and possibly you could open them anymore.
Apple had refreshed their Windows and MAC software that include an updated iTunes version 9.1 in order to address this iPad security concern. However, this action is not enough to protect the iPad totally from the attackers.
Hackers have innovative minds, and they are thinking like computers too, hence they would constantly find ways on how to hacked computer devices. Thus, always make sure that your iPad has always updated software in order to ensure iPad security.
